We need a translator into Chechen (noxçiyn mott): we are preparing a Chechen version of the site, and it cannot be done without a native speaker. If you speak Chechen, or know someone willing to help with the translation, please write to us at contact@decolonial.ist.

Later on, the same kind of review will be needed for the domain on the colonization of the Nokhchi (Chechens), which is currently under development.
